In an effort to continuously engage association members, MyCEB was present at the Malaysian Association of Paediatric Surgery Institutional Presentation to network and engage on 9 March 2013. Attended by 50 of the association’s members, the Institutional Presentation was held in conjunction with the annual general meeting of the association. During the meeting, MyCEB took the opportunity to introduce the Bureau and its roles, as well as provide assistance to local hosts bidding for international conferences.</p><p>
MyCEB was also a part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Malaysia Section on 16 March 2013 for the presentation to the organisation’s chapter chairs. IEEE Malaysia, one of the world’s largest professional associations for the advancement of technology, has recently elected its new EXCO with new chapter and vice chairs. The election presented MyCEB with an excellent opportunity to meet and greet as well as brief the new board members on international conference bidding as well as the Kesatria programme.</p><p>

One of the most prominent roles of MyCEB’s Kesatria is to assist in identifying and encouraging other potential local hosts to bid for and stage international conventions in Malaysia. Their roles also include promoting the benefits of hosting and inaugurating international conventions in Malaysia to their industry peers and colleagues.</p><p>
During the months of May and June, Malaysia welcomed two prestigious large-scale conferences, both championed by our very own Kesatria. The Women Deliver 3<sup>rd</sup> Global Conference (WD 2013) and the 7th IAS Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention (IAS 2013) were successfully hosted in Malaysia, and garnered positive feedback from both speakers and delegates.</p><p>
WD 2013 gathers authorities from around the world, including governments, doctors, activists and more to address the issue of maternal mortality and ensure that investments in girls and women remain a global priority to authorities around the world. IAS 2013 on the other hand is the world’s largest open scientific conference on HIV and AIDS, which represents an ideal platform for the examinations of the latest development in HIV-related research. The conferences, which were attended by leading scientists, clinicians, public health experts and community leaders from around the world, have managed to collectively bring in more than 10,000 delegates and participants to the country. WD 2013 created an economic impact of more than RM 42.6 million while IAS 2013 achieved approximately RM 44.6 million in economic impact for Malaysia. </p><p>

WD 2013’s Asia Regional Director, also MyCEB’s Kesatria, Datuk Dr. Raj Abdul Karim said, “WD 2013 has highlighted the tremendous progress that Malaysia and other participating countries have made on the issue of women’s health and rights, as well as the challenges that remain.” She continued, “This conference provides a platform for national, regional and global leaders to share lessons learned and strategise new ways to drive continued progress.”</p><p>

IAS 2013’s Local Co-Chair of IAS 2013 and Director of CERiA, also MyCEB’s Kesatria Prof. Dr. Adeeba Kamarulzaman commented, “The IAS and CERiA are extremely grateful to MyCEB for their excellent support in bringing the IAS conference to Malaysia and the region, where HIV science and the expertise to translate the knowledge into effective treatment and prevention interventions are most needed. The IAS 2013 took place at a pivotal moment in the global HIV response. Recent scientific breakthroughs have provided us with the evidence to show that ending AIDS is in fact possible. As the first Asian host of an IAS conference, we are most certainly honoured to be associated with such a significant milestone in the course of the epidemic.”</p><p>
</p><p>
</p><p>
As a strong supporter of these events, MyCEB has collaborated with local hosts to promote, support and assist conference organisers and associations in executing successful events in Malaysia.</p>

Dr. John Lau Pang Heng, International President (2012-2013) of Toastmasters International (also MyCEB’s elected Kesatria) was conferred with the Johan Mangku Negara award by the Yang Di Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah, in conjunction with the Yang Di Pertuan Agong’s birthday in June this year.</p><p>
Taking office as International President at the Orlando Toastmasters World Convention, Dr John has travelled to many cities in the USA to not only promote Toastmasters, but also Malaysia. John is the first Malaysian elected to the highest leadership position in Toastmasters International.</p><p>
As MyCEB’s Kesatria (inaugurated this year) Dr John has successfully secured Malaysia as host of the Toastmasters World Convention that will be held at the prestigious Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from 20-23 August 2014. John noted that it was a great privilege that Toastmasters has decided on Kuala Lumpur as the host city as all past world conventions were only held in North America.</p>

As a result of the Advisory Group Meeting held earlier, MyCEB has launched its Association Development Programme on 13 June 2013, followed by the 2<sup>nd</sup> Associations Dialogue Session. Attended by 109 association members representing 63 national associations, the programme provides a range of initiatives to support international engagement and the professional development of Malaysia’s national associations.</p><p>
The Dialogue session included a wide range of topical subjects that impact the development of associations in Malaysia, from setting up associations in Malaysia to governance, taxation and the legal frame work for not-for-profit companies. The session also provided a platform for open forums that encouraged active interaction between participants.</p><p>
Featuring notable speakers from both local and international organisations, which included John Peacock from the Associations Forum Pty Ltd Australia; Dato’ Abdul Rahman Othman of the Registry of Societies; Ravinderjit Savinder Singh, Companies Commission of Malaysia; Lim Hong Eng of the Inland Revenue Board and Jeremiah R. Gurusamy of Arianti Dipendra Jeremiah Advocates &amp; Solicitors, the session was regarded as highly beneficial in equipping Malaysia’s industry players to compete internationally.</p><p>
MyCEB Kesatria were also present at the session, as both participants as well as spokespersons for the Bureau to promote the importance of bidding for international conferences. Mr Teo Chee Hai, President of International Federation of Surveyors; Dato’ Dr Zaliha Omar, President of Malaysian Association of Rehabilitation and Physicians; Dr Yu Kee Su, Secretary General of FIABCI Malaysia Chapter and Ms Yong Ngeak Choo, Director of QTree Management Services were all present at the launch and dialogue session.</p><p>
Dato’ Dr Zaliha Omar of the Malaysian Association of Rehabilitation and Physicians (MARP), a first-time attendee of the session noted, “There is a lot information and insight that we all need to know. Many of us in our associations are volunteers and we may be caught up with our jobs, hence it is crucial that we attend sessions like these to gain first-hand insights. Sessions like these are compact and perfect for us.”</p>

In line with its task to further strengthen Malaysia’s business tourism brand and position for the business events market, MyCEB is constantly organising initiatives and activities to engage the business events industry.</p><p>
Early this year, MyCEB took the initiative to organise an Association Development Programme Advisory Group Meeting that was attended by ten association executives and two Kesatria. The objective of the advisory group meeting was to obtain feedback from national associations on views pertaining to MyCEB’s launch of the Association Development Programme.</p><p>
Dato’ Dr. Zaliha Omar, President of the Malaysian Association of Rehabilitation and Physicians and Dr. Yu Kee Su, Secretary General of FIABCI Malaysia Chapter were among the Kesatria that attended the event. Both Kesatria were invited to share their thoughts and knowledge about associations in order to aid in the refinement process of the Association Development Programme.</p><p>
Apart from their invaluable insights and assistance, MyCEB also took the opportunity to present its latest offerings and future plans to further promote the involvement of local associations in successfully bidding for international conferences. </p>

<img alt="" src="/staging2/ckfinder/userfiles/images/pic5-2.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 240px; float:left; margin-right:10px;" /> Touted as the Olympics of the Gas Industry, the theme chosen for the conference in Malaysia is “Gas: Sustaining Future Global Growth” and gathers global gas and energy leaders from around the world. The world-class conference has attracted 5,299 delegates from 90 countries and 13,803 visitors to the exhibition, including exhibitors from 43 countries around the globe. The conference itself has attracted over 712 abstracts – a record number for IGU and WGC.<br /><br />
The WGC2012 marks the 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the World Gas Conference. It is a significant milestone for Malaysia as this is only the second time in the IGU’s 80-year history that WGC is held in Asia, and for the first time in Southeast Asia. To celebrate the occasion, the organising committee has put together the inaugural Kuala Lumpur International Music &amp; Light Festival with performances from some of the best ethnic bands from this region. These shows were made even more spectacular with the display of lights and fireworks each night of the conference.<br /><br /><img alt="" src="/staging2/ckfinder/userfiles/images/pic6.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 450px; margin-left:57px;" /><br /><br />
Another significant mark for WGC in Malaysia is the introduction for the first time, a Youth Forum. About 216 youth from around the world were invited to share their views, hopes and aspirations with regards to the gas industry, befitting the theme of this year’s event. The inclusion of young people is part of a wider objective of the 2009 – 2012 Triennium to enthuse the younger generation and to ensure a constant pipeline of fresh talent into the industry.<br /><br />
France will be the host for the 2012 – 2015 WGC Triennium as Datuk (Dr) Abdul Rahim Hashim handed over the IGU Presidency to IGU Vice President, Jérôme Ferrier.</p>

<img alt="" src="/staging2/ckfinder/userfiles/images/pic8-2.jpg" style="width: 200px; height: 240px; float:left; margin-right:10px;" />The successful bid was initiated by Dr. John Lau Pang Heng of Toastmasters Malaysia, also acting as the local organiser and supported by MyCEB. At this stage, the convention is tentatively scheduled to be held from 20<sup>th</sup> – 23<sup>rd</sup> August 2014 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (the Centre). The conference is expected to bring together 2,000 delegates and RM32.5 million in economic impact to the country.<br /><br />
Dr. John Lau Pang Heng, an appointed Kesatria and a member of the Kuching Connections Toastmasters Club and Kuching Mandarin Toastmasters Club, said, “For many of us, members of Toastmasters in Asia, this announcement is indeed a welcoming one. Malaysia is a multiracial country where English, Bahasa Malaysia and various other languages are widely spoken. Indirectly, the decision to bring the conference to Malaysia is a wise one considering that Toastmasters champions spoken words. I look forward to welcoming the delegates to Kuala Lumpur for the 2014 conference and we promise you that we will do everything that we can to ensure its success”.<br /><br />
Subsequently, Dr. John Lau has been elected again as the International President Elect in the Toastmasters International Board of Directors for the 2012 – 2013 term. The installation ceremony will be held in August at Orlando International Convention Centre.<br /><br />
Toastmasters International World Convention 2012 will be held in Orlando Florida while the 2013 convention will take place in Cincinnati, Southwest Ohio. Since it was founded back in 1924, Toastmasters has groomed more than four million people in oral communication which include politicians, administrators, educators, lawyers, engineers and other professionals.</p>

After an extensive selection process, Toastmasters International has decided to hold its World Convention 2014 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia which marks the first time that such event will be held outside North America. With more than 30 percent of its global members now residing outside North America, and with the strongest membership growth in Southeast Asia, the selection of Kuala Lumpur as the host truly reflects the global nature of the organisation as well as its evolving membership.</p>
